WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM JANUARY 19 - JANUARY 25, 2022 UCW 19 WEEKLY HOROSCOPE NEWS OF THE WEIRD by the Editors at Andrews McMeel Syndication Bogus, Dude! At the Tabor, South Dakota, Senior Center, a regular card game got a little weird on Jan. 4 after players enjoyed some brownies supplied by the mother of 46-year-old Michael Koranda. KTIV-TV reported that Koranda, an elementary schoolteacher, had recently traveled to Colorado and brought back some THC-infused butter, which he used to make a batch of brownies. His mother unknowingly shared half the treats with her fellow card players, which resulted in multiple calls to county officials about a possible poisoning. Sheriff's deputies spoke to Koranda and took the remaining brownies as evidence, charging him with possession of a controlled substance. He is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 25. Unclear on the Concept On Jan. 7, the California Court of Appeal ruled that the Los Angeles Police Department was justified in its firing of two officers in 2017 after they ignored a robbery call to play Pokemon Go, the Los Angeles Times reported. On April 15, 2017, Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell were assigned to patrol the LAPD's southwest division. But when a call for backup came over the radio, Lozano and Mitchell were captured on their in-car video responding, "I don't want to be his help" and "Screw it." Instead, they continued their hunt for a Snorlax and Togetic Pokemon, eventually meeting up with their sergeant at a 7-Eleven. When he questioned them about the robbery call, they said they hadn't heard it because they were responding to another call, leading their supervisor to review the dashcam footage. After the officers were fired, they sued, saying that the video captured their "private communications" and that they were improperly questioned. Five years later, the courts disagreed, and Lozano and Mitchell have plenty of time to hunt for Snorlax and Togetic.

Question: [Spoiler alert] I reluctantly agreed with your negative review of the new "Sex and the City" sequel, "And Just Like at ..." which left me cold and annoyed. Why come back only to spoil Carrie's happily-ever-af- ter with Mr. Big in such a dreary fash- ion? e rest of the group are mostly acting like idiots and I thought the worst thing about the reboot would be the absence of Kim Cattrall's Sa- mantha. I was wrong. Why did they even bother? — Arly Matt Roush: ese days, it's all about the I.P. ("intellectual proper- ty"), and reviving this franchise was probably inevitable. Everything old is fair game anymore, and the premiere of "And Just Like at ..." delivered the big audience HBO Max had hoped for, which is what counts in a time when it's so hard for anythingto breakthrough. Whether people will keep coming back is another story, but much the way "Sex and the City" helped put HBO on the map, they're hoping the same is true for the streamer. I was skeptical going in because the network kept screen- ers from critics until the 11th hour — which I now somewhat get be- cause of the big plot twist in the first episode, but this is also the sort of show that's more or less critic-proof. So I'm on the fence about whether to hate-watch the rest of the season when so much else will be happen- ing in January. I do, however, hope that this is the show's last gasp. To submit questions to TV Critic Matt Roush, go to: tvinsider.com. By Damian Holbrook Cheers to Hawkeye for hitting the target. Disney+'s six-episode series about the Avengers' archer Clint (Jeremy Renner) was easily Marvel's funniest and friskiest TV effort since ABC's Agent Carter — in part due to Clint's dynamic with chatty co-hero Kate (Hailee Steinfeld). Jeers to Live in Front of A Studio Audience for showing its age. As much as we adore Jennifer Aniston and her costars, surely ABC could have hired up-and-coming actors to play Mrs. Garrett's girls in the "Facts of Life" redo.
